Managing food truck vendors is a full-time job.
It shouldn't be.
📋
Manual applications
Every applicant emails you a different set of documents in a different format. Someone has to open each one, check it, file it, and follow up when something's missing.
📁
Permit documents expire
Health permits, business licenses, and insurance certificates all expire on different dates. Tracking them across 20–40 trucks means constant manual checking — or letting expired operators slip through.
📅
Scheduling in spreadsheets
Slot assignments, cuisine diversity rules, and truck dimensions managed in spreadsheets that only one person understands. When they're unavailable, nothing moves.
🚨
Cancellation scrambles
A truck cancels Thursday morning. You spend the next two hours calling operators one by one hoping someone is available and permitted to fill the slot by that evening.
🤷
No performance data
Which operators show up reliably? Which ones have complaints? Which cuisine type drives the most foot traffic? Without data, every slot decision is a gut call.
⚖️
Compliance exposure
Operating a truck with an expired health permit on your property creates liability for your park. Staying current requires constant vigilance you don't have time for.
